Poll: Will Ovechkin miss time?

Alex Ovechkin left the ice in the middle of the second period last night with a suspected upper-body injury and didn't return. Today, he was seen heading into the Caps' practice facility on an off day, likely to receive treatment and/or be examined by the medical staff.

This team plays fairly well without Oveshkin, somehow it gives them a sense of urgency and focus. If I remember correctly, those last season games Oveshkin was out visiting his late Grandfather were a W.

So early in the season, I think it's smarter to take the long view and not rush back if he's marginal. Also I think it's a benefit to the test of the team to be put into the position of having to succeed without him.

@Lindsay - I'd agree with breaklance - the poll really isn't all that appropriate. I mean, freedom from boredom on our end is appreciated, but dang. None of us know what the issue is, and fueling the rampant speculation with no solid information is just not cool.

they should sit him out at least one game. I remember last year in buffalo when he crashed head first to the boards... I thought for sure he got hurt badly but he came back next period.. thought that was a bad decision then.
